Prep work 101

All materials & tools needed for tomorrows prep work are neatly placed in my tying tray and sorted for easy navigation when I start the day's work.

The schedule looks like this; 60 tails (CDL) and 18 Caddis. Pic 1. (I had some spare time so I decided to cut the grating foil in strips for easy peeling,no need for that tomorrow)

Today's fruits; 50 tails and 12 Caddis.Pic 2 and 3.

50 extended foam bodies (some still needs colouring but that's quick) completed last week WITH their underbodies. The hard yards are done,just need to tie them in,do the antenna's and squirrel collar to have a completed fly.(Graphic extended Caddis Pupa)

The key is planning, preparation and execution! Keep it tidy and neat and work according to a schedule, the numbers will pop of the Vise in no time,guaranteed.

G do you work boet? Or is this your work, I like those “tortoise” shell caddis. Looks sweet. How many flies and fly boxes do you have? Great work as usual. Oh and i read somewhere that it was recently your 1 year as a non-smoker . well done that is awesome. You must feel great.
